On Monday night, SCOTUS issued an order indicating they may be inclined to side with policies that force teachers to out LGBTQI+ students to their legal guardians. Forced outing is something kind of hard to talk about. So it felt like maybe we should talk about it. sames.substack.com/parents-righ...

It's still just under the wire of TDOV on the East Coast - but SCOTUS made sure this wasn't like any other TDOV. I thought some perspective on Chiles v. Salazar from someone who spent their spryest years in the fight to end conversion therapy might be useful. sames.substack.com/p/the-suprem...

We're talking about the sexiest thing in LGBTQI+ civil rights right now: federal administrative rulemaking.
I know. Hotter than Heated Rivalry.
But the comment period on 3 proposed anti-trans rules is about to close & you can help. sames.substack.com/make-them-look-you-in-the-eye
I was asked recently to talk about the relationship between authoritarianism and trans people. So, naturally, I made it about goats. sames.substack.com/p/how-to-survive-a-crusade
I want to just note that this is from the @washingtonpost.com opinion section Jeff Bezos declared will only publish pieces about “personal liberties and free markets."
This is not satire. It is also, however unintentionally, hilarious that it is not satire.

To paraphrase Dread Pirate Roberts, anyone who tells you they know what’s going to happen at SCOTUS is selling something. That goes double for bloggers. With this in mind, I’m becoming a blogger. Welcome to my Substack. Let's talk today's BPJ/Hecox oral arguments. sames.substack.com/p/this-is-ho...
Thank you so much to @mamadragons.bsky.social for having me back on the In the Den podcast. This time, we got to talk about when all these anti-trans policies really started, what the new ID law in KS means for where we're going, and how we will get through it. (And we will.)

Thank you to @lgbtqbar.bsky.social for including me in this year's 40 Under 40. I'm so grateful to be on this list of brilliant folks doing brilliant work, some of which is saving literal lives. You are actual heroes and it's a genuine honor to even have my name alongside yours. tinyurl.com/yvp56yz3
Last month, HHS put out a report on gender-affirming care that reads like a checklist of logical fallacies. @adrianshanker.bsky.social & I published a piece in @newsweek.com on the consequences of misrepresenting evidence, and the real science behind healthcare for trans youth. tinyurl.com/3ryx2tbu

If, by his own admission, Kennedy cannot give competent medical advice, it is time he put his energy toward making health care available to more Americans, not fewer.

Edmund Burke would have had thoughts about the consumption of that vanilla sweet cream nitro cold brew.
Every news cycle lately brings yet another headline about transgender people and their families, whether it's the inflammatory remarks during the State of the Union or the recent invalidation of drive...
